Hey Baby Birds! We have now entered CIVIL WAR 1861--1865!...South Carolina secedes on Dec. 20, 1861 after the election of Abraham Lincoln; an abolitionist. Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas follow the secession bandwagon all before Abraham Lincoln becomes president. The Union is truly dissolved! We will compare and contrast the Union and Confederacy, examine how technology made the war the bloodbath it was, and see how Napoleonic warfare was outdated and cost hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides...
Enjoy John Green's Civil War...It's good stuff!
